West Coast Trees ~ recent work.

‘West Coast Trees’ is a project which delivered a series of site specific tree paintings. I have long been fascinated by the shape trees adopt on the West Coast of Ireland. This shape, or form, presents as a distinctive windblown profile, one that is sculpted by the elements. The proximity of the Atlantic Ocean is a major determining factor in terms of influencing and moulding the shape of the trees.
I see this physical manifestation of ‘shape’ as having spiritual, psychological, elemental and socio-historical dimensions.
Trees have an energy which absorbs, responds and emits in a cyclical, generational, manner.
I captured these layers, through the medium of art and shared my vision in a way that the observer can connect to and re-establish an already existing relationship with past, present and future.
The ultimate intention will be to provoke and challenge while at the same time, providing spiritual comfort.
